The successor to the successful Series I was the Series II, which saw a production run from 1958 to 1961. It came in 88 inch and 109 inch wheelbases (normally referred to as the 'SWB' and 'LWB').
This was the first Land Rover to receive the attention of Rover's styling department . Chief stylist David Bache produced the familiar 'barrel side' waistline to cover the vehicle's wider track and the improved design of the truck cab variant , introducing the curved side windows and rounded roof still used on current Land Rovers. The Series II was the first vehicle to use the well-known 2.25-litre petrol engine, although the first 1,500 or so short wheelbase (SWB) models retained the 52 hp 2.0-litre petrol engine from the Series I. This larger petrol engine produced 72 hp and was closely related to the 2.0-litre diesel unit still in use. This engine became the standard Land Rover unit until the mid-1980s when diesel engines became more popular.

This model was listed as an Ixo but arrived in a blister pack so it is obviously a PW model , possibly from Altaya. The model is really well done considering its price and even the rear lights are coloured plastic and not just painted on . The wheels will get their centre hubs and wheelnuts picked out on black , but other than that its good to go.
